Travel on Tokyo's subways, trains,
and buses to explore this paradoxical
maze, squeezing as much as possible
into eight days.

All for Only $1,195!

Designed for youthful travelers – students, and anyone else who is active, curious, and adventurous – this tour is about experiencing Tokyo’s energy and excitement. It starts as we “sneak in Tokyo’s back door”, walking from the airport train to our lodging, a clean, inexpensive Ryokan (Japanese Inn) located off the usual tourist path.

Using the hotel as our base of operations, we will travel on Tokyo’s subways, trains, and buses to explore this enticing maze of paradoxes: fascinating ancient traditions colliding with a future going full tilt. We will cram as much as possible into seven crazy days, using our hotel at night to briefly rest.

In addition to its comprehensive itinerary and exceptional price, another aspect which makes this tour unique is its size – a maximum of fifteen participants. This allows us to include many options not available on larger motor coach tours, and gives each participant a much more complete experience of Japanese culture.

*Please note: this is a Land-only tour; you are responsible for getting to and from Japan. Steve (or one of his associates) will meet you as you emerge from Customs at Narita Airport in Tokyo on the Tour Commencement Date. Flights from North America always depart a day earlier, since you "lose a day" crossing the International Date Line.

If you are considering arriving at Haneda Airport, or have other plans for arriving in Tokyo, please discuss this with Steve as early as possible. Some flights into Haneda arrive at very inconvenient times (which is probably one reason they are usually cheaper)
